Pros: Good public transport system and modern infrastructure.
Cons: There is nothing really standout about the city. The lack of major sightseeing is noticeable.
Summary: Melbourne shouts pretty loud. Over here in Europe we can hear the claim of "most liveable city in the world", "sporting capital of the world.." or simply "greatest city in the world..". These are high claims especially set against Europes great old ...

Pros: The Most Liveable City on Earth!
Cons: It's an awful long way away from practically everywhere else!

Pros: The best shopping and eating in Australia.
Cons: Federation Square.
Summary: Let me say from the outset how much I adore Melbourne. I'm probably a bit biased, not having been to Sydney since I was 5, but for some reason Melbourne has always seen the better one of the two. My most recent jaunt was with my best friend for a...

Pros: modern cosmopolitan city
Cons: nil
Summary: Now Melbourne is the second biggest city in Australia and the Capital of the State of Victoria. Since I don't like speaking ill of the dead and I believe it best not to say anything if everything is derogatory, I should end this review right here. Now...

Pros: Excellent grounds, reminiscent of the UK but with cockatoos!
Cons: It's very easy to get lost, and the roads are narrow.
Summary: The Melbourne General Cemetery is one of the best cemeteries I’ve ever visited. I’ve been fascinated by cemeteries ever since junior high, and I always try to visit local graveyards when I’m traveling. You’d be surprised at how different they can be...
